Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 September 2024

Debate

Level 3 Vocational Pathways

Contribution

Qualifications must deliver on our missions, enhancing and spreading opportunity, and growing our economy. The last Conservative Government botched the roll-out of T-levels and defunded them. That is why this Labour Government have announced a pause and review of qualifications reforms, to support skills growth and students, and to bring certainty where there has been chaos.[Official Report, 7 October 2024; Vol. 754, c. 1WC.] (Correction) This short, focused review, along with other measures, such as the curriculum assessment review and the creation of Skills England, will allow the Government to improve skills training, unlock opportunity and harness talent.
